K0HALA NOTES.

As the day of election nears, the
issues between the contending forces
become more marked. On the side
of the so-called National or Ha-
waiian side, as they love to style
themselves here, are mustered all
the old adherents of former corrup-
ton and it is evident that the agi-
tating part of the business radiates
from common center in Honolulu,
from whence, it is said, $500 has
arrived. This is real windfall for
the briefless native lawyers who are
going about fomenting trouble and
giving bad advice, in order that
they might devour the substance of
others.
The average native lawyer is, l
believe, to-day the greatest scourge
of native society, and if he can't be
kept under better control, will as
suredly be relegated to another
sphere Of labor. These are the gen.
try who are at present stuffing the
more simple natives with the most
atrocious lies-eyidently on the
scale that the bigger the lie, the
the harder will it beto dislodge it.
One of the big lies is, that if the
haole-as the Reform Party is term
ed-wins, the natives wages will
be reduced by an act of legis-
lature, None of these agitators
will dare state their lies when for
eigners are present at their meeting.
On the side of the Reform Party
are allied the most intelligent and
the most admittedly trustworthy of
the natives, men who pay their way,
in marked contrast to the bilks and
dead beats who are the leaders of
the retrogade party. One thing is
certain, and the sooner the native is
convinced of it the better, that even
if his overpowering numbers prevail
at the polls, they must never again
attempt to control the legislature for
their own sakes.
The haole has made a stand, and
put his foot down to advance, and
he is not going back.
A remark in a former letter de-
Tending our Police Judge from
charge of talking politics has been
questioned and l fear my desire to
see fair play and ignorance of native,
led me into error. 1t appears that
after the temperance meetings are
over, political meeting is held and
several speakers including Kali adj
dress the meeting. This have from
hearsay, as it would be useless
for your correspondent to try to
ascertain the facts by personal at
tendance, for all officials, would be
dumb in presence of any well known
haole.
The Judge has been confined to
his home for sereval days past on
account of illness. Meeting him
yesterday, in conversation he seem
ed much dispirited on showing me
the marks on his face. A converse
ton few moments later with the
japanese doctor who is attending
him confirmed the fear as to the
nature of poor Kali's malad!
AS the mail is closing, I hasten
to add the latest notes of the nation
alists. They have still three can
ditates in the field, each believing
his claim tor superior to his rivals.
A proposal to select one by ballot
of the party VISA only agreed to by
one of the three. Such is the patrio-
tism of so called nationalism and
1t fifty illustrates that love of self,
of power and greed, which has for
the last four or five years characterised |
the ruling power Of this politically
afflicted land!
There is to be final mass meet
ing at Kohala Plantation on Satur-
day, and your correspondents filled
with the desire to have his first say
as a Hawaiian Citizen.
